windows 7 Professional and 2003 domain activity

Today when I logged into my windows 7 PC at work all was normal. When I
logged into my XP PC, it told me I needed to change my password and had n
days to do it. I'm worried about deploying Windows 7 if it is not going to
tell me when I need to change my password for the domain. The domain is a
2003 domain and is the only domain in the tree.

Actually, I was trying to reply to both people's questions, since they were
the same. I'm worried. I can't deploy Windoes 7 if it doesn't tell you when
your password has to be changed. There is only one domain and both the PC and
the domain controllers are in it. The only thing I can think of is taht it is
a 2003 domain and not 2008. could that be the problem?

Sorry if I don't answer promptly. I don't get replies any more. Is there a
MS discussion for problems with the dicussion groups?

Actually, we googled the problemand found a supposed workaround: go to the
admin tools/ local security policy/Local policies/security options. 32 lines
down from the top is the setting for how soon Windows 7 will prompt to change
password. It is set to 5 days by default even though the help says 14 days.
We set our Win7 PCs to 14 days. Unfortunately, I just changed my password,
but we will see what happens with the other PC in about 2 months.
